    Sunday mornings with Captain Kleeman. Sixty years ago, it was Saturday morning with Captain Kangaroo. Both entertaining.

    Before retirement I really enjoyed working on trails in the woods and solving drainage problems, used to give a sense of creativity.

    love reclaiming trails like that. Can't imagine how long that would take by hand to clear some of that thick stuff. Nice work. That would be so much fun to be able to ride on trails again for the first time after being closed off.

    I smiled at you clearing off the leaves from the air intake. I t reminded me of, when , several years ago I was using my lawn tractor on a blowy dry day suddenly no power! lifted the bonnet (sorry hood) found a compressed layer of leaves and dry grass packed over the intake. Ran a lot better when cleared!!
    Nice trails and work. Glad the owner was stoked over the result.

    @pinwizz69 2 года назад +3

    Awesome job of clearing those trails with nothing getting broken on the dozer or you Captain.
    I imagine a couple of those ditch/creeks could use some pip with dirt on them to keep down the washouts would be a good idea but that's up to the property owner.
    Thanks for the Sunday entertainment.

    • @chrissheathewoodguy
      @chrissheathewoodguy 2 года назад

      The biggest issue as you saw is keeping the branches cut back. Can't justify a articulating cuter for the loader. I just do it in sections every other year.

  • @LiLoTech
    @LiLoTech Год назад +3

    It's interesting to see forest clearing work without a protective cage. One can most likely get away with it for years, but a rogue tree can spring pole or act like a spear. Be careful out there.

  • @jeffryblackmon4846
    @jeffryblackmon4846 2 года назад +7

      I used to think that way too till you own them. First rain after you “rip up the trail” and half your top soul washes off the trail exposing rocks everywhere.

    Jump start trick. Hook the positive to the battery from the booster pack and ground to the frame. You now send all the booster pack juice to the starter not into a weak or dead battery.

    When i did towing and road service we had jumper cables made from heavy duty welding cable and a quick connect on the truck so we could jump start anything within 30’ of our truck. It seems to me that might be a good idea on the big green truck!

  • @OneEyeCustoms
    @OneEyeCustoms 2 года назад +2

    Hey Mike, I’m not one to keyboard preach but I will try to put it to you easily. All those limbs and sticks that just miss your face when driving the trails and when you are pushing into trees, those will make a good day end bad. You don’t want to be a pirate like me! I really enjoyed the trail video and I was ducking and dodging with ya! Stay safe!

    @robertzapatka1082 2 года назад +1
